Hope

They say to have hope

They say never give up

Just dangling from a rope

Way up in the air

No way to live, No way to survive

Do you still have hope?

No but you have your rope

They tell us good luck

They give us a pat on the back like that is really gonna help us

Then they just throw us out into the world

To live and fend on our own

They expect us not to whine or moan

We live to die and die to live

Or soul, our love its what we give

We hold on tight

We keep our grip

We struggle and fight

But still we slip

Do you still have hope?
